Utah, mostly known for prime skiing resorts, is quickly emerging as a world class mountain biking destination. Fat tire enthusiasts will want to grab Mountain Bike! Southern Utah to find the most scenic and challenging rides around.Mountain Bike! Southern Utah covers four distinct regions -- Castle Country, Canyonlands, Panoramaland, and Color Country -- and includes such areas as Moab (the mecca of mountain biking), the little-visited San Rafael Swell, the rugged Fish Lake Plateau (750 square miles of volcanic upland), the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The natural geography of the state yields some of the best and most diverse mountain biking in the country, ranging from red slickrock to scrub-covered desert to aspen-filled plateaus. But you'll barely have time to notice as you speed down some of the most stupendous fat-tire trails imaginable. Mountain Bike! Southern Utah is your two-wheel guide to all the invigorating scenery of Utah's vast panoramic deserts and spectacular red rock vistas.
